Sorry if I was unclear. When you click on a gallery thumbnail, either the new page opens in the same browser window or a new browser window. Different parts of the renderosity site behave in different ways in this respect. Some clicks give you a new window by default, others just go to the link in the same window. My point was that the one place a new window SHOULD open, is when you click in the gallery section, i.e. the large main gallery that we all look at first thing when we log in. Reason is that these pages are fairly slow to load and they have HTML code eritten in them to prevent them being cached in your browser, which means that every time you go to the page, it has to load from scratch. So clicking on a new gallery entry you like and then pressing 'Back' when you've done becomes tediously slow. Whereas if the gallery entry had opened in a new window, you could just close the window. I understand why the 'no-cache' thing is in effect with the main gallery, but the feature I propose would aid the usability of the site IMO.
